We currently overpower 100% of all other challenge coin sites with content and trust but it was time. The Google Sandbox effect takes a new site out of strong keywords till it has aged. When we lost our old domain we had to buy this and start from scratch. As As of today we are just older than 6 months. The sandbox last approximately 9-12 months then a site is released to where it should be. It’s a shame but a fact of playing on the wonderful world wide web.

Our competitors can rejoice, and enjoy this period as we await our true position. We have earned a coveted pr4 which almost no other challenge coin site resides at so we know we have some trust from the Big G. Why would be announce something like this? We have nothing to gain or lose from this kind of news. We like to inform people of things and educate others trying to do what we do. We do expect by October of 2008 to be the number one rated site in this niche though in all of search as we have incredible content and a very robust following of collectors

To all, we are coming to educate, opinionate, deliberate, learn, and be the true number one source in all the world for challenge coin collecting hands down. We have an Army coming to town and we are excited. Tell your friends about us and spread the word because we want to help you in any way we can. Get addicted, and prepare to learn. God, we love this hobby!

Besides what we can brag about we wanted to give a sincere thank you for everyone that has come by to support our site through buying coins and more. That helps us pay for the server and more. We love our visitors. Some think we are just some company churning out profit and could care less about you. This is far from the truth. We are a couple guys (Adam and Larry) building friendships with all kinds of people who don’t want to be ripped off anymore. We are providing some of the rarest coins on the market. We are building the largest community on the net for the hobby. We take your phone calls to just chit chat or to order stuff. If you just want to talk and say thanks or talk about the hobby call us. We are here for you.

We have developed over 100 sites for the hobby and we are growing. We want to touch ever person we can with honesty and information. So many sites have it wrong. They just want your wallet. To us that’s business but we know we can do better. We take a break once in a while just to see where we sit. We did this the other day and said to ourselves,”We have something no one else has”. No stores, no overhead, just a great community of people. Except this one guy that called while I had my new born daughter in my arms as she was throwing up and crying. Instead of being patient and polite he hung up on me. If you are that guy that couldn’t understand please don’t ever call back. I will never help you again, as you were rude. I would have given you hours of my time but instead you did that. I was mad for most of the day to be frank.

If any of you reading this have ever talked to me (Adam) you know I wear my emotions on my sleeve but I am always genuine.  I listen to everyone, even people from other challenge coin companies. I don’t care who you are, you will always have an ear. If you are a disabled vet, or just a collector, or maybe someone thinking about collecting you have my attention. You may also know I am a regular guy and not some yuppie in an office. I work from home which means you will hear my children from time to time or catch me sleeping. I have built this empire from the ground and one day my children will take it over.

Ok enough about all that stuff. Let’s talk site. We have a ton of new inventory we will be putting up for everyone. We have made about 70 new coins in the last month that are breath taking. We stopped eBay all together and are going through other channels. If you are still doing eBay I highly suggest you start taking notice of the changes there. We recommend MilBid.com or Challenge Coin Auctions .com. Both are going to be huge come 2009. There are many changes coming to U.S. Challenge Coins in the next few weeks and month but I will always be here for everyone.

Hey! There is something cool I want to share with everyone. I received something after my vacation in Feb. I came home to a package from Iraq. The unit we did coins for, the 492nd Civil Affairs, sent us a plaque of appreciation for helping them with their coin. That coin is amazing and we were proud to save them huge amounts of money. Besides that those were some great people. We help the ones serving as much as we can. Wake me up at 3am to work with me on a coin if you need to. I don’t care what time it is. If I hear my phone I am answering. You might get a groggy Adam but non the less you will have me. Don’t make it a habit or my wife might think something is up though…haha.

If anyone wants to see anything special let me know. We have a full forum, blog, site, store, articles, milipedia, auctions, jokes and more. You make this all possible so my ears are open. Let me know if I am doing a bad or a good job. I actually listen. Larry is also doing all the unit coin orders coming through. I have given most of it to him but I am willing to jump in if you want me. Take it easy on Larry, he may be a little rough but he is learn that whole customs and coutersies thing. For you wholesalers in the pin field hang tight. I am opening a site that will allow you to buy wholesale my pins. This was a long time coming. We know a lot of you want to start carrying our line. It’s unique and better than most. We wanted to make that happen since we have been getting a huge amount of phone calls for this.

By the end of the year the location will shift as I will be moving from GA. It’s time to go as I have been here 4 years. I am getting closer to going back home to New England.  I am hoping to relocate to Asia somewhere. Larry will be taking over the shipping aspect while I am traveling the world in 2009 and beyond. Get to know him. We have been like brothers since I was 6 years old and he is awesome at this as I have been teaching him everything I know. Ok if you need more you will find me in the forum, on the phone, in an email, or at MilBid. Please come back and help us spread the word. We can’t do it all without you.

One thing I will leave you with is stay away from the other custom challenge coin companies. You are only buying them offices around the net and Hummers. We know you are smarter than that!
